Try Blue Sky - Blue Sport....I've been drinking a lot of that since I am training for a half marathon. I picked it out because it does not have high fructose corn syrup in it. That seems to be a trigger for me. I first found it at an organic foods store, but then I found it later at just a local supermarket. Let me know if I can be of any more help.

I don't know if it's "safe" or not but it is the best Gatorade type product on the market. Gookingaid.......www.gookinaid.com

I tried to sort this out a while back and came up with this. It might help or it might just confuse you more but as you'll see I don't think the glucose-fructose syrup in Gatorade is the same as HFCS.

There is a recipe on the Recipe Board for a sports drink here. The orange juice in it does contain fructose but it's diluted by a lot of water. Unfortunately, it's one of those things you'll just have to try to see if you can tolerate it.

Sand,

The labelling of HFCS in Canada is confusing too.

The 'glucose-fructose' label in Canada means "glucose syrups and isomerized glucose syrups, singly or in combination, where the fructose fraction does not exceed 60 percent of the sweetener on a dry basis."

HFCS-42% and HFCS-55% both qualify as glucose-fructose under the Canadian labeling laws. If there is more than 60% fructose by weight it has to be labelled as 'fructose syup'.

See Canadian Food Inspection Agency, 2003 Guide to Food Labelling and Advertising for more information.

There is a good discussion of HFCS labelling problem at the Sugar Association web site.
